Hi Alex,
Thanks for your contribution. In addition to multipass and targets, I also
put a big ? on mixing programs so that one can add effects across the
scenegraph to objects that already have shaders assigned (possibly as
materials from the DCC), maybe with interfaces but I am not there yet.
Regards,
Yuri.
